Building a driver from the ground up is painful. Those 2 years, the opensource development team created the foundation for future chips as well... My 3870 card is working nicely now, and things will improve. In just a few months, Evergreen support will be at almost the same level(it is already near), and 6xxx series support will come sooner than that.
Anyway from my understanding, AMD needs opensource drivers for on die gpus mostly. I repeat: Discreet GPUS from now on are not needed in Linux. No sane gamer would try to game in Linux. There is no point. Even NVIDIA blob+Wine is not worth the trouble. So get over it. Dual boot with Windows if you need to game. Or even better: buy a console.
